    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    Finally got around to getting one of these, and I'm incredibly satisfied. The antiglare is PERFECT. Screen is sharp and clear, not a hint of grit or rainbow. Also, there isn't a single bad pixel. Seems like Viewsonic actually knows how to QC their products. There is a little bit of glow at the...

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    So if I'm reading that right, PLS panels have an advantage when it comes to the clarity of the coatings, although IPS is starting to catch up? Very well...I guess I have no choice but to try it for myself.

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    Hey y'all. About a 2 years ago I was in the market for a new monitor. Tried the Dell U2711, and absolutely abhorred the anti-glare coating. I don't know if I'm extra sensitive to it, but it seemed like the whole screen had been coated in oil and sprinkled with rainbow-colored grit. It was...

    Catalyst 12.3 not enforcing vsync?

    If that's the case, they really shouldn't be pushing them out through the auto-updater yet...anyway, I've already rolled back.

    Catalyst 12.3 not enforcing vsync?

    Updated to 12.3 two days ago, and since then I've noticed that Catalyst is not enforcing vertical sync even when set to do so. Games with native vsync settings still abide by them, but I can't force global sync through the CCC. This is a very noticeable problem. I have a small monitor (17"...

    Samsung S27A970

    There's been no news. All the websites say March, but that's just parroting back Samsung's original projection. As much as I want to believe it'll be soon, remember that the S27A850D was delayed for quite a long time last year...hopefully that won't be an issue again...

    Audio-Techinca ATH-A900 Headphones Review @ [H]

    Thanks for the advice, everyone. I don't play any games where sound is important for success, and I wouldn't call myself an audiophile, just someone who wants a quality set. I do prefer as much sound isolation as possible, provided quality doesn't suffer too much. I was under the impression...

    Audio-Techinca ATH-A900 Headphones Review @ [H]

    I've had my eye on Audio Technica for a long while, but I haven't yet had a chance to buy a pair, and I wasn't sure about open vs. closed. However, I hope to be able to do so in a few months, and this article really helped me figure out what I wanted (namely, this pair). Thanks as always, [H].

    Facebook Teen’s Father Shows Some Tough Love

    This was futile. You can argue all you want as to whether it was an appropriately proportional response or not, but one thing is certain: all this will do is ensure that his daughter hates him forever after.

    Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Honestly I don't understand Corsair's product strategy at all. How is this supposed to be different from the AX and HX lines? For that matter, how are AX and HX supposed to be different? Note that I'm not saying they aren't, but Corsair has never gone out of its way to make very clear what is...

    Samsung S27A970

    Let's please not have this thread devolve into another glossy-vs-matte battleground. I have a glossy laptop (Dell Studio XPS). The reflections always bother me, and that screen is only 16". Matte, done right, doesn't detract from picture quality. Unfortunately, too many companies these days are...

    Samsung S27A970

    Holy shit, just as I was finally getting ready to pull the trigger on the 850D, they pull this out...HDMI, looks to be superior build quality, and hopefully the backlight bleed issues fixed? Although...I really don't think I could stand a 27" glossy...really hoping this is semi-gloss/light AG...

    Expect Windows 8 in October

    NZXT Phantom Case

    I wish the "x-color is for x-gender" nonsense would go away. You think pink is the "girl color" now, but up until World War II, pink was actually considered the boy color, because it was closer to a masculine red. By contrast, pale blue was considered gentle and feminine. Historians aren't even...

    Monitor of choice?

    Just get the 850D, and exchange it if the bleed is too bad. It's really the best (only) option right now.

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Looks fantastic. I don't even need one, but these results make me want one, which is how advances in video cards should be. Price will have to go down quite a bit though...make it under $450 and we'll talk. Thanks for the info.

    Honor and remembrance to all those who died, and all those who served. I'm also pleased to see that, at least in this thread, no one has had the bad taste to wish ill on the current nation of Japan for something that happened 70 years ago. They are no less our ally now than is the current...

    SilverStone Nightjar ST50NF Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Silverstone's stuff is always overpriced and undersupported, and I'll honestly never see the appeal of fanless PSU designs anyway. Is the tiny amount of noise that a PSU fan produces really that bad?

    Liquid Cooling the PNY GeForce GTX 580 Review @ [H]

    Very interesting article. Thanks for doing it. Always nice to see a less common configuration like this, and as stated, the results were surprisingly good. The CPU+GPU is a nice idea, but it doesn't seem like it would be very upgradeable, and you're basically risking everything on a single...

    Kingston HyperX SSD 240GB & 120GB SSD Storage Review @ [H]

    I haven't had any issues since updating the firmware, and it only happened the one time even before that. The problem is, one time can be enough to brick your drive if you're unlucky. It also took about a month of use before the problem showed up. However, in checking in various places online...

    Antec Announces the Eleven Hundred Enclosure

    I thought the behind-the-motherboard fan mount was interesting, but otherwise I think I would definitely still prefer my NZXT Phantom.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Performance and IQ Review @ [H]
